Guest feedback highlights both strengths and areas for improvement. Many appreciate the hotel's spotless rooms and friendly atmosphere, with particular praise for its ideal location just minutes on foot from local attractions and dining favorites like The Terrace and Giuseppe’s Italian restaurant.

Reviews from travelers who stayed here in the last 12 months, grouped to help you spot the pattern quickly.
Very basic room. No staff on the premises so it's code entry. It was zero degrees out when I stayed here and the heating did not keep up with the cold. Duvet only on the bed and no blankets. At least it was clean and well kept
Does what it says on the tin. Budget place to stop for a quick trip. Room cleanliness was fine, contrary to other reviews. Staff were super friendly and welcoming, which certainly makes the hotel worth it. The location was great. Every destination I needed to visit for my short stay was only 10 minutes walk away. Similar to another review, the shower was SUPER hot. I came out looking like a cooked lobster. The deposit seemed a bit intimidating but I got my money back no hassle, so it's fine.
Ideal location for a short stay. I recommend The Terrace nearby for breakfast, and if you like Italian, go to Giuseppe's.
Thought it was really good. They give you a code to unlock a box to get your key card. Very easy process. Room was really clean, tea and coffee, nice linen. Everything you want for a little hotel for the night.
This is just a perfect place to stay. Town centre, ferry, lovley sea front and a really easy self check in. What more do you need for a few days away.
Seaside resort with gardens, a beach & a pier, plus Southsea Castle & a lively dining scene.
